Answers:

Oral sores are actually a form of herpes- the non-sexually transmitted kind; Herpes simplex A.
Herpes simplex B is the STI... But, like herpes A, herpes B stays with you for life, it can only be treated when it is exacerbated (flares up). A great many people have it, few actually admit it, but there is nothing medically wrong here, nor were you doing anything wrong to get it- a shared soda with a friend 7 years ago, perhaps, or something equally as innocent. Annoying- yes... Life- threatening-NO!

Abreva is a much used med; or talk to your doctor, for a different prescription...
